❌ 5 Mistakes Filipino Importers Make When Buying From China
(Number 3 will save you a lot of money 💰)
1️⃣ Choosing air freight for heavy cargo
Air freight is fast but expensive. If your cargo is over 100kg, sea freight will save you 60-70% on shipping cost.
2️⃣ Not checking if the supplier does proper packaging
Bad packaging = damaged goods. Always request photos before shipment.
3️⃣ Ignoring customs duties
Many first-time importers forget to calculate customs duties. This can add 10-30% to your total cost. Know before you ship.
4️⃣ Choosing the cheapest freight agent
Cheap doesn't mean good. A reliable agent saves you money in the long run by avoiding delays and lost cargo.
5️⃣ Not asking about door-to-door service
